EAST MARION POST OFFICE WORLD WAR II MEMORIAL BUILDING

Constructed and dedicated by residents as a World War II Memorial on Memorial Day 1949, the East Marion Post Office is the only US Post Office built and dedicated as a World War II Memorial in the United States. There is a large granite and brass monument on its front lawn honoring 15 townspeople who served in World War I. Inside, two brass plaques commemorate 45 residents who served in World War II, six who served in the Korean War and 10 who served in Vietnam. In May of 1999, Congress officially recognized and re-dedicated this little post office to war veterans.
